The Ripers had been on the table- above three weel, and the Hono,nrable Genpernan had not said a word on the subjea. He could easily conceive that:his silence:upon-it lidd been - occa,ion-t ed by the pressurt.of other important matter, but he was sure that the Honourable Gentleman would;par don 11;s anxiety thata question of g?eat publieirn.; portance, and to him certainly of great personal im portance, sl;ould,meet with as little delay as-possible.

" Wilful murder by a soldier unknown," wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, whether his Majesty bad been 'advised, or whether it was in the contemplation of Government to.advise his Majesty to issue a Procla mation, offering a reward for the apprehension of the offender ? Mr. Secretary RYDPI, in reply, stated- that be had instituted a.-stri6l inquiry, w-hich . was.still pend ing, into the oondu6t of the soldieri on, the . one ,hand, and of the populace on the other, in the un fortunate -case .alluded to by the Noble - Lord; and the result of that inquiry (as far as it had gone) was, that in no instance. in . the annals of the coun ..try, in .which it bad been found necessary to call ,out the tior;ps, had they .ever behaved with more .tem per and moderation tba6 on the recent occasion.7.,- They had borne being pelted with stones, and .fired :it with shot, as had been proved by the most re- AiEta'ple authority, with a forbearancePerfealy un ex-ampled. Such was their general condu6l; and it . \sas,his duty to state, that in ihe unfortunate 'case"mentioned by the Noble Lord, not a single sLot was tired by the Soldiery until they,had received Several shots from.the neighbouring houses. tinder these,eircumstances he had.not thought it his duty to advise his Majesty to issue such a proclanAtion as ;lilt described by the Noble Lord, nor had: he it in contemplation - to offer to, his .Majesty any such advice. . , Nfr. W,HITESIIBAD,petfeaIIy agreed with the Right Hon.

The SPEA K ER observed thete was no question before the House. Mr. WOITBR.EA-D said; 'that 'undonbtedry there was no question before the House, but that he was jilst►fieti in— The CHANCELLOR of OP Z*onpatiEnisPoke to' Order. A question had been pit to his Ri4LA :Friend, which his Right Hon. Frieild had answered. In ge.rmitting that. the;HOuse had not - passed the • line of their usual - indulgence, which he presumed they would pass . ; if any additional observations were permitted : to be made. He had no.objeetion what ever, to a 'future discussion of this business ; but he objeed to-anr further. 6tatentent when there was no .11)01i011 before the.l4.l)llSO. Mr. WHITIIREACO declared that he would epd what he had to say, by making a motion. Tile" BPEAK ER -stated, that, in cases in which a gilestion was put on the o.ie -hand, and answered on the other, the House had always felt the incon venience of prolonging the conversation. If out of the answer to any question, grounds for further discussion should appear to any Honourable.Mem- Oer to exist, it was the usage for such Hon. Mem ber to, give notice of a motion, and not make one op the instant. .Mr. .:considerable warmth, asserted that he had .3 right:to -make a motion with out notice, and of that light he would then avail. himself. His motion 'n'.33; "That the Verdict of the Coroner's InqUest 'be laid before the . HoUse." The doetrine . of 'the Right Hon: Qentleman was the most extraordinary he bad ever heard. Had that' Right HOn. Geetlemen ever kmiwn such a verdict of ..a.Coronees.lnq:eest, and no further _in . qUiry following it ? that the,Righr Hon. Gen-- tleman had stated might be l:tronglit out before a aA - ought In go to one, but was it to he en dured--would it be,' either in or Out of tile 1 - I , )use, that no further inquiry should be "mado ? Was it not even indispensable tor .the exculpation of the soldiers thus generally Charged,, and' who would be mutt) - better , vindieated by a tral before . a Jury, than•by any.explanation -of .the. Right Hon. Gentle man. It was- impossible to stop at_ t his stage of the business, with any. regard to the feelings of the country,-or ,to the :feelings of the soldiers them, selves. If they could be vindicated, .lettheco Aliodicated before a Jor . y . ,..afweititeri to,try .whether, a murder had actually - been - committed or, not. •.If, as the Right Hou. Gentleman' had said, no shot-had been -fired..by •the soldiers, till.shot bad been fired at them by ihtpopulace, then 'certainly they: would stand exculpated ; butcould the Right HA.u. Gen 'ilerivin pretend tp.argue that the general- gpod coon duet_ of the Soicys e rsouOt ,to scteen''ari . individeal, who unassailed might have comninted an id of wanton goilt ? Let,it be proved before a Juryohat a harmless passenger in the street, like himself or the . RightJFlon..Geutlernan, had not been wantonly fired at by an unprovoked Soldier. If no such act had best- .c ommitted, why .were-such difficulties thrown in the war of .further ivesttgation ? If it had been committed, ought not the . Peblic .besatis fied ?,• Ought not the charaaer of the. person slain 'to be jUstified . ? Ought not the good disposi tion of the 'great body. of the troops to be vindi-• cated ; Availing hirristlf•of theright which he pos. !. sessed (which lie would have been indisposed to do had he not been' driven to it), be moved that the Coroner's Inquest be laid before the. House. • The SPEAK-E Said; that in ilieinterrepttort which he had given to the Hon. Member, he h ad done ne more than'repeat the e' v pitis atht,4llouse. If, after such a statement on'llycloart, the Hon. Metn ber persisted in his intention, the affair was in the hands of the House, and it was for them to decide upon it. Mr. WHITBREAD gave ~ perfe& credit to- the Speakerfor doing no more than that which was Consistent with his duty to do ; bat he would re mind-the House (he was-sure that it was not.neces sary to remind the Chair) that a resolution had, dui ing_the last Session, on the Speaker _s_particolar case, been moved without notice by - a Right • ElOn. Gentletrian, and carried, when lie (Mr. W.) and others, who would have .wished to be present,-.had left the-House. • M. CANNING., as the Hononrable Gentleman had alluded to the motion which he (Mr.:Canning) had conceived it necessary to. make during , the last session, in justification of the Speaker's conduct, Oc plained that that motion arose out of events which had taken . place in the course,of the same evening ; a'nd' which had created in him a .reluctance to the separationof the House without :bringing the subject diStinetly before Ahem -for their opinipn. Tijat- was • a case, therefore, of so particular a nature, that -it could scarcely be adduced Bib a precedent. At_ the , same ,time, he • readily Rchnitied that the 4.lonoutible Gentleman had exercised an undouht -ed right ; he should, however, vote against hirri,. on the single ground that •the iiouse were taken . by. surprise. Mr. W. SMITH, while he: ,cheerfully ted that. the Speaker exercised the discretitt repose , ' in : him, by the House in 'a manner that must afford general satisfa&ion, yet contended, that the doc trine maintained by the Bight HonourableSecretary of. State was of such a nature, that thetcountry at large :would be much dissatisfied were= it to 'pass without immediate animadversion. Willing as he was„from his own personal Observation,and 'from the reports of others, to bear testimony "to the general. good condu& of the soldiery, yet, when a Coroner's Inquest -bad brought in a vordiii of .wilful murder, It was' most extraordinary to hear a Secretaty Of State say 'that he was making such 'and snob, htqui xies ; thus potting himself in the placeof a Jury of the country. • He did hope that the-Tight Honour- : able Gentleman had .made his declaration rashly, ,and without being aware of its tendency and extent. As had been well argued by his Honourable Friend, if ten thousand men behaved .well, it did not fol low that one-might not be guilty of . rnurder. When a Coroner's inquest brought in Overdid - of (c . Wilfnl, Murder against-a person unknown,' it a; only bY . a Jury that the case: could he .tried.—The Secretary , of State was a Justice of Peace; did he in - 1..; king the inquiry which lie ha 4 deLcribed,.talte. the depo sitions:on oath ?. On such a - trial as hi s, the right and .wroog.of the case couldneyer be permitted to stand. He repeated his persuasion, that the Ilidht Him. ,Gentleman would have . beenmoTe guarded had he been as.i/ate of the tendency and extent of his ob : , . • , Secretary . RYDri wasirate til for the . Oppo rtunity afforded hint of expla'ifing-tiituself. e was'' , perf.dly ready to rerassert, that the line fAen by H his Alaysty's Governiiient was the only line consistently with their duty, it was possible for them to adopt. The I-lon. Gentleman oppositv must have stratibllfiniStincleissitiod' him when he - repres , lited. that no inquiry had , taken:place-. He-(IVIT. Pt.) hati disti tidly stated to the Howe. it.the uiur.st a . tli•ik_E former observations, that as soon ,as the facts were known to his Naiesty,'s Goverrinient, - - inst itut ed a s!ri6t inquiry. into the conduct of the populace on one hand, and of the troops on -the other ;„:rna• the result was; that they had resolved to advise .liiS ..Majesty not to issue any proclamation ou the $1313- jeCt. Another Hon.-Gentleman hart asked 'whether the inquiry had taken place on oath ? It was neees-• • sary that the nature of the evidence to he_given be fore the Privy ,Council ,should,be. previously ex . atnined. ; Some witnesses : had .been el - omitted before the • Privy - Council on. 'oath ; others had been examined by other persons, in order to ascertain whether.or not their evidence ought . to be given before the Privy Council on one side of the question or on the other. He said on one side or on the other, although. it did .not appear that in•any case the troops shad acted in a manner which could call for disapprobation.; The inquiry ,was still pro ceeding. Hitherto, certainly, he, for one, had not thought it expedient to. advise, his. 111 tjeSty to issue his Proclamation. The Hon..GentleMan opposite seerned.tO think/ that it was indispensable to issue a a Royal Proclamation ..vbenever a Coroner's Inquest 'bri)ught in a verdict of Wilful Murder. This .was to him a new principle. Whenever,this question came to be agitated—which he trusted it would not • to' night, although the Hon. Gentlenian had thought . proper to make his motion without any notice, in contradiCtion to the uninterrupted usage of- the House, for which akae he should . opposeit —but whenever the Hon. Gentleman tnight choose to bring it - forward, at•corct .to't he rec( . ignisea-pniCtice of the House, he had no doubt of being tulle able:to vindicate the conduct _of Government, and .to prove that they woyld have Elect erroneous -Iy, had 'they, on the evidence *before them ad-. vised his Majesty to issue his Royal l'roclarnation. Lord OS SULSTON g bore testimony . to the gene ral good conduct of the soldiers, and 'explained the particular grounds.on which the Jury had given their verdict. Mr. Alderman CoMBE ;said . few. words, bt2t with such - rapidity of : utterance r . that we could not distinalyoomprehend. their tone. As far as we could collect the - sentiments. - of the worthy Alderman, he exprt!ssed his approb.nion_ of the general good Cotidu6t of the' tr00p, , ,, but support ed the motion as giying on opportunity of con. sidering , , whether the Coroner's.; •verdi6l ought to form a ground for any. Parliamentary procce4tlg; The CffAN,CE4OII .of the EXaliEoXklit, declared that the Hon: Gentleman had entirely departed from the course which the Househad hitherto pre-- ; scribed to Themselves. .In.the•;- first place, he' had, made a motion without having• given alaY - -tioilee;.' and in-the-second place,-he had-inade a, motion,-al though there were several -notices on the paper which-were entitled to priority. • _ What . was the•ur gency of 'the _easewhieh demanded that the motion should . beniide on that clay ? Was there any thing to be -immediately proposed in consequence• of 'it ) What itrss the Hon: Gentkman's object ? Fie .had only made thelnotion because, he had b een iwer rupted in irregularity. Ile had - notl isen to- mak e the niolion, but hel - e.ld made the motion to protect-him self. He had taken thee - HOuse bysurprise, find:un prepared: On that ground alone the motion ouglit to -be negatived ; for there was no for . de -parting from the established usage. , kitty Uf that consideratiOn, were the 116 - Use to take into their own hands the ad_ministration of justice while in its progress ? Were (hey. to..be - the inspee-, tors of .Verditts of Coroner's Inquests and - incliti ments for murder ? Were they to . stand in- the si tuation of grand jurors ? If any abuse had .occur red, that would be a sufficient ground for a Parlia -mentary --proceeding. But what answer had his Right Hon. Frieed.• made to the question, whether . or slot his Majesty-had, been advised to issue a pros • clanration offering a reward ler the apprehension of the2oblender'? His Hint. Friend had replied in the negative; and had added, that -as far -as he could judge-froidilie--inqeiry which had -been -instituted into the circumstances of the case, that he did - not Oink, he should be disposed to recomm en d . such a proe:editig ; the inquiry, however, still 'pending, the result of which -might alterhis opinion. ilf . the - House hadinstituted - The same inquiry as .his Majes- Vs.
